Movie Title: A Walk To Beautiful - NOVA A Walk To Beautiful - NOVA is available for streaming or downloading. |
When I came across this documentary on PBS I was left quite breathless. The context of the documentary, the visual imagery, and the “texture” of the survival mode these women are in truly will inspire you to appreciate some of the simple pleasures we take for granted in life. Moreover, the staff at the Fistula Hospital were wonderful, committed, and compassionate. Mind you, I’m an American writing about this from our world, one with HMOs rushing patients through the system, where the medical establishment continues to slowly capitulate to the private interests of profit, where we have no nationalized health care.

Existentially, A Walk to Beautiful also shows how medical institutions runned by compassion-based medics create new meanings for those whose lives have been completely scripted for them by patriarchy and ageless traditions that cannot keep up with the realities and stimuli of twenty-first century poverty and destitution.
My favorite scenes? When Ayehu was cured and she walks through the forest to go home. The human spirit shone nicely through her posture, determination and grit. When I showed this documentary to my class my students (I’m a male professor), female and yes, male students, were left breathless. Almaz lecturing her husband after the surgery was wonderful, as was Wubete’s new found joy with the children of Grace Village, especially her comments on Iyassu, “who pouts”.

Many of my students wrote me afterward saying how this documentary changed their lives. I also wanted to add that the music in the film sounded authentically from the region (with the exception of the syncopated “Amazing Grace” at the end of the documentary). There were some hymns and melodies that were highly appropriate since they come from the beautiful voice of Ejigayehu “Gigi” Shibabaw, a world-renown Ethiopian artist. Watch this documentary. Smith and Bucher, along with their team, captured a depth of humanity in a context that was refreshing, deep, and profound. A Walk to Beautiful will alter your consciousness forever…
I saw this film originally on T.V. May 13 on Nova. The stories of the affected women made me cry. What a horrible existence they had been left to, until they were able to get to the special hospital. I also cried for them tears of joy when they were “cured” of their injuries. This was a heartwrenching film, one every woman/mother should see. We are so lucky to live where we do and have access to such great health care. I would like to purchase this DVD when it is released because I would like many of my friends and family to see it and help with donations to this cause.
